is a hallmark coming-of-age film that helped launch the career of George Lucas and pave the way for
Star Wars
.

of your formative years, the follow-up leans into the troubles of adulthood.

American Graffiti
portrays characters experiencing
tragic events
such as car wrecks and the horrors of war.

cry out for a sequel
in the first place.
